Revealed: An exciting partnership to elevate agile learning and developer-driven security in the enterprise
Fresh off the back of our Series C funding announcement, I am thrilled to announce another step in our company’s journey. Security industry leader, Synopsys, has welcomed an exciting new addition to its product suite: Synopsys Developer Security Training, powered by Secure Code Warrior. You can read the full press release here.
This expansion of their industry-leading portfolio of application security solutions signifies a positive step in the right direction for enterprise security programs, enabling them to embrace best-practice DevSecOps methodologies - especially those relating to the shared responsibility for security. Put simply, this integration will grow the global base of security-skilled developers, and this is a wonderful opportunity for every organization to support code-level vulnerability reduction through developer enablement in secure coding.
Global governments are placing increasing scrutiny on software vendors in the wake of some of the worst cyberattacks on record, with CISA in the United States releasing their Security-by-Design and -Default Guidelines this year, in which they recommend that the ultimate responsibility for cybersecurity outcomes is placed on the vendor rather than end-user. For many software vendors, this will require a significant overhaul of their internal security practices, or they run the risk of hefty fines. This will quickly become a non-negotiable across the globe, and any excuses relating to a cybersecurity skills shortage won’t fly: we need security-aware developers to play their vital role in safer software creation, and we need them now.
Flexible, customizable agile learning solutions are a powerful antidote to poor coding patterns, in addition to the negative experience many developers have had with AppSec initiatives to date. They need to be won over, accommodated, and given learning pathways that fit in with their workflow to deliver the right information at the right time. Synopsys’ integration with our platform is a viable, market-leading solution to this problem, and can fundamentally change the developer relationship with security for the better.
Cybercrime is set to cost companies globally an estimated $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, a consistent rise from $3 trillion in 2015. Cybersecurity Ventures also reports that cybercrime represents the “greatest transfer of economic wealth in history”. This is not a drill; we as a collective industry must start prioritizing secure coding education for every individual writing code, and set a new benchmark for security as a measure of software quality. With Synopsys’ comprehensive suite of tools now including engaging, hyper-relevant hands-on agile learning for developers, there has never been a better time to make a meaningful switch to developer-driven, preventive security programs.

Secure by Design: Defining Best Practices, Enabling Developers and Benchmarking Preventative Security Outcomes
In this research paper, Secure Code Warrior co-founders, Pieter Danhieux and Dr. Matias Madou, Ph.D., along with expert contributors, Chris Inglis, Former US National Cyber Director (now Strategic Advisor to Paladin Capital Group), and Devin Lynch, Senior Director, Paladin Global Institute, will reveal key findings from over twenty in-depth interviews with enterprise security leaders including CISOs, a VP of Application Security, and software security professionals.
Benchmarking Security Skills: Streamlining Secure-by-Design in the Enterprise
Finding meaningful data on the success of Secure-by-Design initiatives is notoriously difficult. CISOs are often challenged when attempting to prove the return on investment (ROI) and business value of security program activities at both the people and company levels. Not to mention, it’s particularly difficult for enterprises to gain insights into how their organizations are benchmarked against current industry standards. The President’s National Cybersecurity Strategy challenged stakeholders to “embrace security and resilience by design.” The key to making Secure-by-Design initiatives work is not only giving developers the skills to ensure secure code, but also assuring the regulators that those skills are in place. In this presentation, we share a myriad of qualitative and quantitative data, derived from multiple primary sources, including internal data points collected from over 250,000 developers, data-driven customer insights, and public studies. Leveraging this aggregation of data points, we aim to communicate a vision of the current state of Secure-by-Design initiatives across multiple verticals. The report details why this space is currently underutilized, the significant impact a successful upskilling program can have on cybersecurity risk mitigation, and the potential to eliminate categories of vulnerabilities from a codebase.

Revealed: How the Cyber Industry Defines Secure by Design
In our latest white paper, our Co-Founders, Pieter Danhieux and Dr. Matias Madou, Ph.D., sat down with over twenty enterprise security leaders, including CISOs, AppSec leaders and security professionals, to figure out the key pieces of this puzzle and uncover the reality behind the Secure by Design movement. It’s a shared ambition across the security teams, but no shared playbook.
Is Vibe Coding Going to Turn Your Codebase Into a Frat Party?
Vibe coding is like a college frat party, and AI is the centerpiece of all the festivities, the keg. It’s a lot of fun to let loose, get creative, and see where your imagination can take you, but after a few keg stands, drinking (or, using AI) in moderation is undoubtedly the safer long-term solution.
